Water-Based Flexographic Printing for Paper Bags
A Sustainable and High-Quality Printing Solution
In the food packaging and retail industries, paper bags are not only functional packaging but also an extension of brand identity. With increasing environmental awareness and stricter regulations, water-based flexographic printing has become a mainstream solution for paper bag production.
At JJG PACK, we exclusively use water-based inks for printing paper bags, ensuring safer, more sustainable, and highly consistent packaging solutions for the food industry.
1. Key Features of Water-Based Flexographic Printing
1️⃣ Low VOC and Environmentally Friendly
Water-based inks use water as the primary solvent, significantly reducing VOC emissions compared to solvent-based inks.
2️⃣ Suitable for Food Packaging
With proper formulation and drying control, water-based inks comply with food safety standards, making them ideal for:
- Bakery bags
- Fried food bags
- Burger wrappers
- Coffee takeaway bags
3️⃣ Integrated Printing and Bag-Making
Water-based flexographic printing can be integrated directly with high-speed bag-making lines, ensuring stable quality and large-volume supply capacity.
This capability is one of the key strengths of JJG PACK in serving international food chains.
4️⃣ Consistent Color Management
Through standardized color control systems and strict viscosity monitoring, we ensure consistent brand color reproduction across batches.
